Originally built for video game creators, Leonardo AI has grown into a comprehensive and generous image generation platform, acquired by Canva in 2024. Its many specialized models — including Lucid Origin, its flagship model — along with a real-time engine, advanced editing tools and video generation make it an accessible graphic studio, popular with hobbyists and professionals alike.
Sign up at leonardo.ai to receive free tokens that renew every day. Pick a model suited to your style (photorealism, illustration, concept art), write your prompt and fine-tune the generation settings. The Canvas and Upscaler tools then let you edit and enlarge your creations.
Prices are indicative and may change — check the official site for up-to-date pricing.
The 150 daily tokens are enough to generate around ten images a day with the latest models, and more with lighter ones — plenty to explore the platform and cover occasional use.
Commercial use is allowed even on the free plan, but your creations remain public and Leonardo retains ownership: you only get a usage license. Paid plans give you full ownership and add private generation to keep your creations confidential.
Not at all: a text description is enough. Advanced users can, however, guide the generation with their own sketches using the real-time mode.
